BRAMALL LANE, SHEFFIELD — Title-chasing Arsenal bring their free-scoring Premier League form to Sheffield United in what could prove to be another arduous encounter for Chris Wilder’s side.
The Gunners dispatched Newcastle United 4-1 last time out in an imperious performance that saw Mikel Arteta’s team become the first in history to score at least two goals in seven consecutive halves of Premier League football.
That statistic comes with some foreboding for Sheffield United, who have lost their past two home matches 5-0 to Aston Villa and Brighton, having been walloped 8-0 by Newcastle earlier in the campaign.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal live updates, highlights, and commentary
1 hr 20 mins before kickoff: The mission for Arsenal tonight is to keep pace with Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. After the weekend, Liverpool’s one-point lead over the champions remains intact, following Darwin Nunez’s last-gasp heroics against Nottingham Forest. Phil Foden was in inspired form as City came back to beat United 3-1 in the Manchester derby but Arsenal know a win over Sheffield United will take them to within two points of the summit. Considering Liverpool hosts City at Anfield on Sunday, that would be a pretty handy spot.
1 hr 40 mins before kickoff: As the old adage goes, the underdogs need the form book to be thrown out of the window in these sorts of games. In United’s case, it doesn’t need to so much be thrown out of the window but out of Sheffield entirely and ideally nestle somewhere in the Peak District. Arsenal have won their past two away games 6-0 and 5-0, with the Blades losing their two most recent games on home turf by the latter scoreline. They were also hammered 8-0 by Newcastle at Bramall Lane earlier in the season. This might be one for their fans to watch from behind the sofa (with The Sporting News open on your phone, of course!).
2 hours before kickoff: Hello and welcome to the Sporting News’ live coverage of Sheffield United vs. Arsenal from Bramall Lane. The Gunners have been in red-hot form in the Premier League of late and it could be a long night ahead for Chris Wilder’s strugglers.
